The ability to make cord from the many naturally sources available in the wild is the survival skill that makes many others possible, from shelter, clothing, basketry, tinder, fire-making, lashing your harvest for transport, snares, and even bow strings. Cordage also makes durable and fashionable necklaces bracelets, and even rings! You will also craft a simple, but effective figure-4 deadfall trap and learn how to make an efficient rolling snare. These tools allow a survivalist to obtain food while working on other survival needs. Come join us for a day of some cool tools!
